I'm thinking this will be a regular reoccuring post topic. Amazon does it - netflix does it - and now I will do it- I will give you suggestions based on your likes and dislikes. I will use amazon as my guide but filter out all the crap and try to offer selections that I have encountered and or read in conjunction with new to me titles.

We will start to day with if you like David Sedaris you will like the following:

Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress by Susan Jane Gilman (current bathroom read, super funny)

if you liked Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress you'd like:

I Love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies): True Tales of a Loudmouth Girl by Laurie Notaro

(also hillarious in the narrative/essay genre ) if you like I Love Everybody and other Atrocious Lies you'd like:

Why I'm Like This: True Stories (P.S.) by Cynthia Kaplan, as you can see todays theme is essay and funny/entertaining slightly autobiographical rantings. I love it when books read like blogs.

if you like Why I'm Like this you'd like:

Leave the Building Quickly: True Stories (P.S.) by Cynthia Kaplan this is the sequil to the aforementioned Cynthia Kaplan - I want this chick to come out with a new book.

and amazon says if you like Cynthia Kaplan you'd like:
I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley ( it's on my to read stack but clint is currently holding the book hostage which is ok since I have a couple other books in the works at the moment.)

if you like I was told there'd be cake or Cynthia Kaplan you'd like


Running with Scissors: A Memoir by Augusten Burroughs , this was funny and gross and funny and disturbing...

if you like that you like this:

Possible Side Effects by Augusten Burroughs this one is also on the to read stack...

but I'm going to take a stab here and say if you like that you'll like this one:

My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands (Paperback)by Chelsea Handler

or the man version:

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max

and then onward:

I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris


this looks good too:

Ok so I'm not a uber feminazi however the tits and ass window clings have got to go. Seriously, are you that much more manly in your big truck that is obviously overcompensating for your small Mr. Winky that you think you'll get all the girls if you have Barbie's silhouette posing with pointy boobies and windblown hair? And what about the Married women - can't you satisfy your husband enough so he doesn't need to display such juvinille red neck window clings?

Sheesh where am I? I guess it's a smidge better than the Get R Done window cling but not by much.
